TWINS a pair of single beds

I found this set of bunk beds at a yard sale this past weekend.

While we were talking price with the owner,

daddy called my cell to let me know the cost of my motorbike repair.

I have a trials bike but only get to take it out about once a year.

This years trip is coming up fast, but Im unsure if I can get away or not.

Needless to say the bike has to be ready regardless, which means a new part.

So while getting the price from daddy, the price for these beds was still up in the air.

I pulled some cash out of my wallet (what I was willing to pay) and handed it to George

to finish the negotiations.

Well before I was off the phone the beds were being loaded into the van.

Now the posts connecters were either missing or broken and only one post finial remained

so they couldnt easily be used as bunkbeds anymore.

I wish I had a room to stage these in, I could have done them up wonderfully.

There were a few cross bars but the supports on the rails were installed,

well well just say *badly*

It took a few hours to fix the supports and cut more cross bars, as well as a few other fixes.

Once they were fixed it was just a matter of deglossing, priming, and finally painting.

This pretty pair is currently listed on the AVAILABLE page.

A PROVINCIAL PAIR nightstand and hiboy

Right now George is working countless hours running his business and doing deliveries,

which intern giving me extra time to work on painting guilt free.

This hiboy and nightstand are one of the latest projects that have been completed.

Id like to say it was a simple redo, and in simple terms it was.

No repairs were needed.

However it did take countless hours to pianted both pieces in Old White

Then wax both pieces, removing the excess as I went along.

Then washed them in thinned out Graphite chalk paint and remove the excess.

Wax and polish every inch of the dresser and table again.

Once all that was done,

I hand painted each handle with Graphite chalk paint highlighting the girly curves.

The final step was to prep the arborite tops with a primer.

Wrap the body in plastic and get them outside before spraying the top in a glossy black.
